History
A post office called Dundas was first established in 1846.[3] The community was supposedly named by an early settler who had returned from the island of Dundas off the east coast of Africa.[4] The community may also have been named by the first postmaster, David H. Halsted, for William H. Dundas who was the chief clerk of the Post Office Department at the time.[5]

gollark: Its main feature is (was) just that it is (was) easy to use. But they made the config weirder and more complex in v2 and convoluted the architecture a lot, so I went back to nginx, which is harder but less so and also maybe faster.
gollark: Somewhat, yes.
gollark: The configuration for HTTPS is mildly more irritating, but I can live with it.
gollark: It turned out it didn't, and caddy v2 has annoying things, so nginx it is.
gollark: Well, caddy v1 was apparently "deprecated" - there were annoying warnings about this on the site before there was even a non-release-candidate v2 - and I had an issue, so I thought "hmm yes maybe a newer webserver would fix this".
